That's too bad. I certainly hope they don't promote that bitch Jesse Palmer.

Agreed.
I liked Bob a few steps behind Keith Jackson but still one of the best.

I didn't like him when his son was playing, but other than that I thought he was pretty good.

He was "ok". Nothing great IMO, but not bad either. Certainly not in the same class as Keith Jackson. And I thought the last few years, he had gotten worse. It was time.

I liked Griese, but saying a Hispanic race car driver is not in the standings for the leaders because he's "out getting a taco" is bound to wreck anyone's TV career.

Montoya is Brazilian and not Hispanic. They may speak Spanish in Brazil, but it is not their heritage.

According to Wikipedia, he's Colombian, but whatever. I know as much about NASCAR as I do about PhD-level quantum physics.

My point is the same: Griese should've known better.

Griese has sounded underprepared in the booth the last few years..like he quit putting in the work. Say what you want about Jesse Palmer, he is a good analyst.
